Long Nights, Legal Cases, and Nootropics

The following is a post by Eric Balaster a friend of mine, he is the co-founder of Pure Nootropics, where he writes extensively on the subject of nootropics through his company blog.

In the law profession, there is down time contrasted with extreme workloads. Some cases require late hours, clients call late at night needing assistance, and generally the profession can become quite tiresome. A lot of people in the legal profession are moving towards nootropics as a way of handling their stressful and demanding jobs.
Nootropics are a special type of compound that help to enhance cognitive abilities. By improving memory, attention, focus, or even reasoning, these smart drugs can help lawyers to handle the rigors of the profession without falling off the edge. What follows is a great overview of nootropics for lawyers looking to improve their performance.

Mental Fatigue Nootropics

There are a lot of people who struggle with issues of mental fatigue, which explains the millions of people who drink coffee on a daily basis. However, there are methods of using coffee and other related stimulants to get a much better effect for your brain.

Caffeine + L-Theanine

If you have ever heard of L-theanine, it is an active agent in green tea that makes it easier for you to calm down and relax. Yet, when paired with caffeine, it actually helps you to avoid getting too jittery and makes it easier to focus on the task at hand. Typically, caffeine can make people too anxious and hyper focused on the wrong things. L-theanine brings you back down to earth so you can function properly and seem a lot sharper.

Modafinil (Provigil)

Speak with your doctor before taking Modafinil, but this is a prescription drug that can be utilized for a higher quality focus and attention than you've ever experienced before. It is far more powerful than caffeine and it will improve your ability to work exponentially. Just make sure that you research the drug beforehand and speak with a doctor to get the best dosage information for you.

CILTeP

CILTeP stands for chemically induced long term potentiation and it is a newer formulation based on studies from 2004. The active ingredients are artichoke extract and forskolin with added acetyl-L-carnitine and L-phenylalanine for protection. Altogether, this makes for a natural substitute for Modafinil, but it should be used with caution just as Modafinil. It will not work for everyone, but it does have a strong effect.

Memory Retention Smart Drugs

There are a few higher quality drugs that pertain to memory that can help any lawyer to remember more legal precedences, landmark cases, and facts. With some of these memory enhancing options, you can easily improve your practice.

Piracetam

This is one of the first nootropics utilized for cognitive enhancement in the early 1970s. Since then, numerous studies have shown just how powerful the drug can be for improving memory in animals and humans. Numerous human trials show that it is an effective drug for improving memory in young college-age students, but also in older individuals who are more memory prone.

Aniracetam

A similarly structured drug, aniracetam, is a more potent racetam than piracetam. It was synthesized around the same time, but the low bioavailability makes most of the drug avoid getting metabolized. The little bit that does work will help to provide a stimulant as well as improve your overall cognitive abilities. A lot of people that take aniracetam notice it not only has memory effects, but also improves the ability to feel less anxious and perform under pressure. For lawyers with important trials, this could be the drug of choice. You can buy aniracetam online in the United States without a prescription.

Choline

By itself, choline is a great cognitive enhancing substance. It is just a precursor for acetylcholine and thus is very useful in providing the building blocks for the neurotransmitter. It is best to utilize choline with the piracetam or aniracetam for the most effects. The best sources of choline in our diet are typically not utilized, which is why supplementing with alpha GPC or CDP choline is probably a good idea.
